ANTIGII'JARE GOGGLE.

application iiiea september 2s, 1925. serial No. 58,945.

This invention relates to an improved antiF glare goggle or spectacle.

The object ofthe invention is to provide a goggle which will shield the eyes from glaring lights, such as the headlights of an automobile, or from electric lights, or any glaring lights which interfere with ythe sight of the wearer, or are ainful to his eyes.

' `The invention is urther to provide an article of theV character set forth which is inexpensive to manufactureA and of light weight, and further still, the object of the invention is to provide an anti-glare goggle which, while shading the eyes, will enable the wearerto obtain an unobstructed view. To these ends the invention consists in an antiglare ,goggle embodying the construction s'et forth in the followingV lspecification and particularly pointed out inthe clalm.

Referring to the drawings Figure A1 is a plan view of my improved anti-glare goggle. Fig'.v 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional elevation taken online 3 3, Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a portion of a modified form of'a goggle embodying my invention. Y

Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the severalviews of the drawings.

- Referring to Figures 1, 2 and3, 5 and 'aretwo semicircula'r rims connected together CII by a bridge 7 and provided with flanges 8 which are slotted at 9. to receive the temples l0 which are connected'to the flanges 1n the usual well-known manner by pivots 11.''The oppositeends df the rims 5 and 6 terminate in approximately .the same horizontal plane and sa'idrims are provided with shields 12, each of which is concavo-convex in form and projects forwardly and downwardly from its respectivev rim terminating in a forward edge 13 which has a recessed portion f 14 approximately concentric with the pupil of the eye of the wearer when in-use. The forward edge 13 is inclined upwardly from the lower ends of the rim to the lower ends of the recessed portion. 14 thereof. The shields 12 are tapered from the rims to the forward edge 13.

The rims, bridge and shields are 'all formed from seimtransparent material such as Celluloid andfare all integral with. each 1 other, the same being formed in a heated 55 die, the process of manufacture being-.first to stamp the Celluloid from a sheet ofthe same of the proper form and thickne, so that when subsequently placed in a heated dieand compressed, the completed article will be formed and the shields will be tapered from the rims toward`the recessed portion yof lthe shield, or median line thereof.

The object of the recessed portion 14 in the forward edge is that the wearer may obtaln an unobstructed view, while at the .same time 'i his eyes are protected by the shields from dazzling rays of lightcoming from either side or from above.

By tapering the shields in cross section, the wearer obtains a fairly distinct view` through the .portion of the shield adjacent to the recessed part. of the forward edge by tipping his head slightly downward, while at the Sametime the outer portion of the shields ad]acent to the rims will prevent the I rays of light from passing through 'the thicker portion of the shields. Thus the wearer may obtain an entirely unobstructed' View by looking straight aheadthrough the recessed portion, or by looking downwardly, and he may obtain a` partially obstructed view throu h the thinner `portions of the shield by tipping his head slightly downward', and looking straight ahead. A

In Fig. 4 a modified form of my invention is illustrated in which the temples are omitted and the goggle is attached to the head of the wearer by a band, the ends-of 'which extend through slots 15 in the anges 8 and then extend around the head of the wearer.

I claim:

An anti-glare goggle embodying semicircular rims, a bridgev connecting the rims, and semi-circular concavo-convex shields extending forwardly and `downwardly from- .said rims, the opposite ends of said rims terminating approximately in the same horizontal plane, and the forward edge of each of said shields comprising an approximately straight portion extending from the Aouter portion of its rim inwardly and upwardlyjanother approximately straight portion extending from the inner portion of its rim outwardly and upwardly at the same angleas that of theV first-named straight portion, and a concave arcuate portion joining the proximate ends of the straight portions through which an unobstructed view maybe l obtained.

' In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand. -HARRIS KING HALIKMAN.
